Edmund Burke (human rights lawyer)

Entire article is based on one single Honolulu Weekly story, with a passing mention from the Maui News. Flunks WP:BIO and WP:NOT#NEWS. Article is full of WP:SYN, and puffed by a poster that has nothing to do with Burke. Salting of the article with the adjective "notable" doesn't convey notability.

Comment -- Nominator cites WP:PUFF as if it were a wikipedia policy. In fact it is an essay, started by the nominator him or herself. Geo Swan (talk) 22:40, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom, notability is not inherited. Ariticle also looks like a WP:COATRACK for another issue. See also WP:BLP1E. --brew crewer (yada, yada) 23:53, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:BIO. I looked on Gnews, got nothing significant -- in fact, even with Guantanamo included as a search term, Mr. Burke is overshadowed by his 200 years-dead namesake. Ray^Talk 21:53, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:BLP1E. All lawyers have at least one major case in their careers, so this is nothing special. Bearian (talk) 00:06, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
